Anonymous said...: No! leopards. Cheetahs have proved the most difficult of the big cats to breed. There was not a single one born anywhere in USA until Philadelphia zoo in 1956.

In more recent year there have been many successes but that came only after intensive study of their reproductive biology. The problem seems to have been that the wild populations do not have enough genetic diversity.
